Information to work through

Hi Susie, thank you for responding to my question on Wikitree. I am sorry I have been so long in finding your response. I am unable to find Lewis Bagot's will, but the National Archives have records that show John Bykley and Thomas Bagot (son) as executors. I'm afraid Sir Lewis left a lot of debt so records at NA show cases and claims against the will and John and Thomas as defendants. There is one portrait available of Thomas Bickley DD looking very fierce, it's even on the Wikipedia page. However, I have a better one that was available, it is better painted and has a clear coat of arms. I see you have done a lot of research regarding Sir Francis Bickley's family (draper of London) of Attleborough, Cambridge, Kingsbury etc. The family are spread wider and I am descended from North Shropshire Bickleys. They are still from the same family and I have a few links in my research. For the early Bickleys, Somerset, Portsmouth, Staffordshire and Shropshire all feature. If I can be of any help with your research into the Bickleys, I am happy to help. I have a great deal of info so perhaps you could narrow down the info you would like. I am having trouble logging in at the moment, hope you receive this O.K. Kind regards Yvonne

Hi Susie, I've attached the portrait of Thomas Bickley DD (https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/thomas-bickley-c-15181596-222431). His coat of arms are clearer and are the arms for John Bykley M.P. for Stafford aka Keeper of Tutbury Castle. The only difference is the 'mantle' (colour red). On John Bykley's Grant of Arms they are azure or a dark blue. Apparently, the mantle is not part of the coat, and artists sometimes used a colour of choice. Dark blue would get lost against this background. In turn this is the coat of arms for the Cambridge Bickleys, only difference is an extra plate on the hinds (crest) collar. The Chidham Bickley Coat of Arms is older and the background is gold and the crest is a demi griffin sergeant as on Henry Bickley of Chidham's memorial. I have a copy of John Bykley's Grant of Arms, but I have to abide by some terms and conditions and can't put it on the internet. This entitled John to be called gentleman or esquire. It can only be passed down through his immediate family i.e. not to nephews. I have a funny record of John Bykley in Portsmouth married to Johanne. They have children Henrico and Willo who I think are twins. I think Henry is the grandfather of Sir Francis not Henry of Chidham and I think I am descended from William. My family, although from Shropshire, adored Cambridge. The boat race between Oxford and Cambridge was important and children were only silenced during that. We never understood the fascination of Cambridge. Piratical Henry Bickley of Chidham/Portsmouth also had twins Paul and Anthonie and twins occur regularly down through my family. I know science doesn't back this up as hereditory, as they are never fraternal twins, but it is odd. I have had help with the Bickley heraldry from the College of Arms and I could give you that info if you are interested. Bickley association with the Bagots goes back to the reign of Henry IVth approx 1415. (A story there) The biography for Bishop Thomas states, without any source, that he was born in Stowe, Bucks, but I believe he was born in Stowe by Chartley, Staffs. The Ferrers family who owned Tutbury Castle lived there. Thomas might only have been about 5 yrs old when he joined the choristers at Magdalen. To read a bit about John BykleyBickley M.P.for Stafford, you will find him on The History of Parliament website for 1529. (Says his wife is Jane, but Johanne/Joan are sometimes transcribed thus) I have gathered a lot of snippets and hopefully relevant bits, but will only drip feed them to you if you are willing. I am impressed with the profile page you have done for Thomas and I like Wikitree because they want sources and proof. All for now, Yvonne

Hello again. I have done some research into the feasibility of Thomas Bickley DD being born in Stowe. My findings seem it was likely he was. If you would like to know what I found please let me know. There is a lot of info to impart and it would be great if your researchers could take a look. I only want to trouble you with it if you are interested. Regards Yvonne

Hi Susie, good to hear from you. Messaging you here because not sure email gets through sometimes. I found that after the beheading of Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, George, IVth Earl of Shrewsbury, was appointed Crown Steward for the Buckingham Estates in 1521. (LUMINARIUM: ENCYCLOPEDIA PROJECT ENGLAND UNDER TUDORS). John Bykley was the Earl's deputy (SEE PARLIAMENT ONLINE; CONSTITUENCIES; STAFFORD 1529) The Earl was married to Catherine Stafford. Other Staffordshire names connected to Stowe are Lyttleton, Giffard and Grenville, check Stowe School's 'house' names. John and Joan/Joane Bykley were feoffees for Ed Lyttleton who owned land all over, He owned Baxterley, Warks. There is an Edmund Beckley 1600's living in Lillingstone Dayrell near Stowe. In an early census for Staffs, John Bykley has a son Edmund. (See upsilon, epsilon for 'y' in Wikipedia). Also see THE DAYRELLS OF LILLINGSTONE DAYRELL Tim Robarte. you will see those Staffordshire names. I will email the early census of Staffs, the ebook not too available now. Preface points out some mistakes like John Bykley's wife is listed as JANE but really she is Joan/Joanne (a Bickley name). The book is named LIST OF NAMES OF THE FAMILIES OF THE ARCHDEANERY OF STAFFORDSHIRE 1532-3. John Bykley is under Tutbury Ward,

Hi Susie, Here is the ebook for early census of Staffs. John Bykley in Tutbury ward has a large family. Thomas, of course is in the choir at Magdalen College. I also think that Henry is already in Cambridge. I am researching the Bickley's connection to Lolworth.

The College of Arms persuivant found an old Bickley coat of arms. A William Champernowne married heraldic heiress Thomasina Childerley who was entitled to quarter arms of Bickley as ancestor John Childerley in reign o Edward 1st married Margaret Bickley daughter of -------Bickley of Bickley.

Childerley is the next village to Lolworth, They were very close to Sir John Cutts who owned Childerley.

A couple of points that might become important; The Bickleys in Stafford in 1400's leased land from Lord Stafford, The names Carew and Courtney are names of Bickleigh Castle in Devon.

I know Thomas Bickley DD is supposed to have been born 1518 and I can only source 1521 but it all seems connected.

Hope this is of some help. Best wishes

Hi Susie, Thank you for the link. Yes, I started my research into the family from there. My Bickley family by way of Whitchurch, Shropshire, love Cambridge. My Bickley grandmother told me they were drapers, although our side were farmers. Also told me of one of the Bickleys married somebody Reade and that is how we got the land in Warwickshire. In Whitchurch we were on George IVth Earl of Shrewsbury's land, Bubney Woods. 'My Lord's' woods were sold to some people one being Sir John Hanmer. We were tenants of Sir Thomas Hanmer whose brother David was apprenticed to Sir Francis Bickley. John Bickley, descended from Thomas and Philadelphia Bickley, Bedfordshire, married Anne Reade, daughter of Sir Thomas Reade, Barton Court. The Reades were friends of Charles Ist and Henrietta Maria. A Thomas Culpeper of Virginia left his land in Forshaw, Warks to his illegitimate daughters one of whom was related by marriage to the Reades. Sir John Trevor a friend of our family, Whitchurch (and ancestor of our late Queen), gave the tenancy to Isaac Bickley, my 4th great grandfather. Sorry to burden you with all that, but just wanted you to see that they see themselves as all one family. I am sure that Henry Bickley of Lolworth is the elder twin son of John and Joane Bykley.

Some time ago, I sent you a picture of Thomas Bickley DD with his father's coat of arms. The arms have a crest of a hind, because John Bykley was park keeper at Tutbury and Castle Hey. As a bishop, apparently Thomas would not have a crest. I don't know if there is any copyright because I can't find it now on the internet. I don't think you received it. So I'll try again......!

Hi Susiie, some more names that may feature as siblings for Thomas. Perhaps as things unfold in the future. John Bykley was granted rooms and a plot at Rocester Abbey by Henry VIIIth and lived there for while. He and Joane and family retired back to Nynehead and Hillfarrance Somerset. John's will 1562 was destroyed in the bombing of Somerset Archives WWII. luckily someone made some notes in 19th century, but it is precis. He leaves land at Aller Moor to son EDWARD and small amount of money to daughters GINNET and JOHANE. Edward is the ancestor of the Somerset Bickleys and John's Grant of Arms doc was neatly folded up with descendants will. Henry Bickley of Portsmouth will 1565 mentions: "My brother John's yonge children yonge about them JOHN BESSE JOANE" I can't be sure of course, but at least we have the record.

Ann sent this ages ago, where does this fit in? https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433004950477&view=1up&seq=150&skin=2021&q1=bickley

This is from my gedcom program but not very much, other stuff must have been lost in computer crash In CHidham Church:

The other memorials date from the reign of Queen Anne. One dated 1707 commemorates another Henry Bickley and his wife Margaret. She "suffered from intermittent fever and for some days fell into lethargy." After 30 years of marriage both died within two days of each other. The epitaph concludes

"Death herself did not divide them Those whom one and the same disease carried off The same tomb holds together. Let them remain untouched Let them remain through long ages Ashes joined together And let the stone unmovable keep them." That is Margaret Fulham CHIDHAM is not mentioned in Domesday, being then included in the Bishop of Exeter's estate of the Chapelry of Bosham, of which it became the manorial centre. In 1243 the confirmatory grant of the chapelry to the bishop included the manor of Chidham. (fn. 7) It was stated in 1290 that the Bishop of Exeter held the chapel of Bosham and the manor of Chidham, in which were free and villein tenants who did suit to the Earl of Norfolk's hundred of Bosham; but in the hamlet of Westinton, a member of Chidham, he had certain small tenants, each holding 3 acres, who were his servants, such as reapers, shepherds, swineherds, and ploughmen, and they came at Easter and Michaelmas to view of frankpledge before the bishop's bailiff at Chidham with the ripereeve (messore) as their tithingman and appeared before the coroner in the tithing of Westinton and not elsewhere. (fn. 8) After the dissolution of the College of Bosham the Bishop of Exeter in 1548 conveyed the manor of Chidham to Thomas Fisher, to whom it was confirmed next year. (fn. 9) He then transferred it to Henry Bickley, (fn. 10) who died holding it of the Crown in 1570. (fn. 11) His son Thomas died seised thereof in 1588, leaving a son Thomas, then only 3 years old, (fn. 12) who died in 1640. (fn. 13) His heir was said to be Thomas Pay, great-grandson of Henry Bickley's daughter Honor, but Thomas Bickley bequeathed this manor to Brewen, or Brune, Bickley (grandson of Henry) and Cicely (Ryman) his wife and Richard his son. (fn. 14) Richard apparently died before his father, whose estates passed to a younger son Henry, (fn. 15) who died in 1707, leaving the manor of Chidham to trustees for sale. (fn. 16) It was apparently bought by Richard Lumley, Earl of Scarborough, and descended with Westbourne (q.v.) until the death of Richard Barwell in 1805, after which it seems to have been sold to Edmund Woods by his trustees. (fn. 17) William Padwick owned it in 1822, (fn. 18) Charles Cheesman is said to have purchased it some time before 1835, (fn. 19) after which date its history is obscure. Sophie, Lady Gifford (widow of the 3rd Baron, who died in 1911) is named as lady of the manor between 1915 and 1922, (fn. 20) but it was said to be in the hands of Albert Eadie in 1919. (fn. 21) Subsequently it was acquired by Lord Iveagh, the present owner. Bickley. Argent a cheveron embattled between three griffons' heads sable. A subinfeudation appears in 1621 when Sir Richard Worseley, bart., died seised of the manors of CHIDHAM HACKET and MIDDLETON, held of Thomas Bickley, which he had granted in 1616 to Lady Elizabeth widow of Sir Richard White and Elizabeth White her daughter for their lives. (fn. 22) The property evidently descended in the family as in 1720 Sir Robert Worseley, bart., and Frances his wife conveyed the manor of Chidham Hacket alias Middleton to John Wakeford. (fn. 23) In 1793 the manor was conveyed by Samuel Colby and Mary his wife and John McFarland and Elizabeth his wife to Joseph Postlethwaite, (fn. 24) but no other mention of it is known.

  • Was Amye his second wife? Was he really born 1539?
  • Has previously been, presumed to be incorrectly, attached to Henry Bickley (abt.1503-aft.1570) but removed as he was a) not mentioned in Henry's Will (refer comments on Francis' profile). Of interest is that this Francis did not mention his son Frauncis in his Will. Curious. Frauncis would have been 20 when his father died. He became a freeman in 1608 so perhaps his father sending him to London and apprenticing him to Henry Jay was enough and b) is not mentioned in Visitations of Sussex 1530 and 1633-4.[11]
